I'm glad his teammates supported him publically at least. Was half expecting him to get some backlash.

That would be hard as all hell to do so I'm glad he stood up for his beliefs as well.

Same reason I support Kap. Sometimes you just gotta go against the flow for what you believe.

Guys a great story, did several tours oversees. Also he didn't really take the field, he was just outside the tunnel not the "normal" position.

And kaep got the same bump after his protest made the news

I light weight agree. With him. I mean it's his decision to stand out if he wants to but this seemed like a team decision to stay neutral and stay unified and going out kind of breaks the unity.

Part of me thought it was admirable especially given his history but the other part of me was team first.

The dude literally was literally an Army Ranger who served three tours in Afghanistan and he's supposed to not stand for the national anthem for the flag he fought next to? That doesn't even make sense.

This is a story where all of the parties involved acted like adults. The guy went out there to honor the flag, the rest of the team stayed back in protest, each side understood the other side's position, and they all supported each other. Good for them.

It's a shame the article didn't convey this better. They subtly made it seem like the team was confused and angry, when they really should have focused more on the players that supported him.

Meaning, the guy said he did it on accident. That he feels embarrassed because he didn't realize the rest of the team was standing in solidarity in the back. But you think he did it on purpose because it fuels your narrative.

No he didn't watch the clip.

He said "the reason I wen't out there is the reason that's causing all this distress". His team likely gave him shit for it and I wouldn't be surprised the way things have been if you disagree you get attacked.

"This man is the embodiment of an American Hero. West Point graduate, Army Ranger, 10th Mountain Division, 3 tours in Afghanistan, Bronze Star for Valor. It's men like him and woman that have sacrificed for our country that gives the players the opportunity to live in a country where they can make millions of dollars playing a darn game. Of course he is not going to sit out or disrespect the flag and anthem of the country he defended."

No, they stayed in the back in protest. They wanted to find a way to protest without singling out Villanueva, and staying off the field during the national anthem was the way they agreed upon.
